In our DT lessons we have been designing and making moving vehicles. We looked at vehicles from the past and how we make a new one for the future. We looked at different features of vehicles and what they need to include in order for them to move. We then evaluated our designs according to how they worked and what we would change next time.

In Module 6 we have looked at where our food comes from. Our first lessons consisted on what types of food are grown underground and over ground. In groups we sorted the fruits and vegetables into the groups we thought was correct and researched facts about a fruit or vegetable of our choice.
